This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same

Lyric Meaning

Iggy begins her first verse by using another animal metaphor to describe what evidently seems to be Iggy and her ex, A$AP Rocky’s rocky relationship (…ha…)

This time it is the cat and mouse as opposed to the Black Widow spider.

The “cat and mouse game” depicts the horrors of the predator (the cat) chasing the mouse playfully at first, until it gets ready for the kill. This is what Iggy experienced in her toxic relationship with Rocky, as she was always the mouse; being feasted on, but never treated lovingly. Her partner was always the opponent but never the teammate.

Role reversal this time because Iggy’s evolved from tiny mouse to a vicious Black Widow.
